Caravanners visiting Staffordshire are set to benefit from a local site being open all year round.
Glencote Caravan Park in Station Road, Cheddleton, has been given permission by Staffordshire Moorlands District Council to remain open for 12 months a year.
The facility was previously closed during January but councillors have approved plans to make it a year round attraction, Leek Post & Times reports.
Tom Burnside submitted the application to the local authority which will be able to accommodate up to 100 holiday units. This will include static and touring caravans, tents, motorhomes as well as space for a warden/staff unit.
“There has been increasing demand for opening in the New Year in recent years with many people wishing to take a holiday over the Christmas period running through into January or to celebrate the New Year away from home, but in affordable accommodation suitable for family use,” Mr Burnside told the news provider.
Glencote sits in the Staffordshire countryside and is only a short drive from the town of Leek.
